5 Surprising Ways to Use Measured Micrograins +

Have you tried Measured Micrograins +? This versatile facial exfoliator is designed for all skin types – even those with sensitive and unpredictable skin who previously avoided scrubs. More than a standard exfoliator, Measured Micrograins + can be used in several surprising ways. See our list below of the top 5 different uses for Measured Micrograins +.

1) Exfoliate any skin type

While those with sensitive skin often cannot tolerate physical facial scrubs, Measured Micrograins + is suitable for all skin types. The natural jojoba beads are round and smooth, which makes them the perfect choice to gently exfoliate skin. Its creamy, soothing base also has built-in buffers, like colloidal oatmeal, to calm and protect skin. While you shouldn't exfoliate active breakouts or inflamed acne, the pore-refining and oil-balancing ingredients in Measured Micrograins + (like iris root extract, zinc sulfate and vitamin A) can be used to help prevent breakouts in those with acne-prone skin.

To use as an exfoliating scrub, apply to clean, moist skin and use small circular motions to gently massage into your skin. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

2) Use as a facial mask 1-3 times per week

Measured Micrograins + is also designed to be an exfoliating facial mask. When you use it as a mask, you receive tightening benefits from the clay in the formula, which is great for those with deeply clogged or sagging skin. Dead skin cells will "stick" to the mask as it dries, so it exfoliates even deeper.

To use as a mask, apply to clean skin and let dry. Wet your fingertips and massage very gently to soften the mask. Rinse off with water and pat dry.

3) Make an exfoliating cleanser

Just like professional estheticians do in the treatment room, you can create an effective exfoliating cleanser for yourself at home. Blend Measured Micrograins + into your regular Bioelements cleanser to cleanse and exfoliate at the same time. This is a great way to provide extra buffer to the product, especially if you use Sensitive Skin Cleanser. This trick also speeds up your skin care routine without sacrificing any benefits (like most shortcuts do).

4) Try it as a lip treatment

Measured Micrograins + can also be used as a quick fix for dry lips. To use it as a lip treatment, massage this scrub onto your lips for a few seconds and then gently remove with a wash cloth and warm water to reveal smooth lips.

5) Cool and soothe sensitized skin

Measured Micrograins + provides skin with a refreshing cool sensation with every use, but if you want to amplify the sensation, store this facial scrub in the fridge. This is particularly beneficial to soothe easily sensitized skin – skin that's red or irritated from the environment, incorrect product use, and other stressors.
